On the second day of her stay in Colombia, Queen Máxima again carries a bag with a Colombian background.
The Queen is in Colombia because of her work for financial inclusion. Colombia has made good developments in the field of financial inclusion. 60 percent of adults now have a (bank) account. This was only 39 percent in 2011. Despite the increase, there are large differences nationally. Disadvantaged groups include small businesses, small farms, people living in remote areas and women. As an advocate of the UN, Queen Máxima will emphasize that everyone should be able to have access to financial services.
Fashion
Because building bridges is more effective than deepening rifts, the queen likes to make fashionable gestures during UN trips. Yesterday she was spotted with a Wayuu bag and the black and white bag hanging from her shoulders today is inspired by the crafts of the Arhuaco tribe.
During UN trips, the queen likes to wear garments that have already proven their success. Today’s Natan skirt previously served during a UN visit to Brazil.
Máxima with the skirt during a financial meeting:
We also know the cardigan from previous performances. The sleeveless top is different.
Today’s slippers are new and were purchased at Hermès.
